MUSIC
Savoy Blue is a sonata in the tradition of the many contemporary "color" pieces I love, and which have been so evocative to me since my days as a student. In three movements, the piece plays with moods of "blue," both in harmonic language and in style. This work for cello and piano is the third version of a piece originally written in 2010, but the speci c sonic colors of the instruments paired with piano in each successive iteration demanded titles with their own vibrant but unique shades of Blue: Milori Blue for euphonium, Deep Sky Blue for viola, and Savoy Blue for cello.
